Together they make load which
will test our existence. With sa-
loonism, communism, socialism, an
archism, she has a struggle dire
enough without adding Mormon
ism.
Let the hypocritical fraud which
this people have attempted to prac-
tice upon the world be regarded
with silent contempt by congress.
Let the strong arm of the law cut
out this foul cancer from our body
polite. Let congressman and con-
gress be true to themselves and
true to our nation and true to thir
ty Thousand loyal citizcus OF this
territory without being unjust to
the Mormons and simply enforce
with pertinacity and consistency the
best anti polygamy laws, and in
time this sore may be healed. 1t
may cost bloodshed, but cancer
ought to come out if that be the
only remedy, even if blood comes
with it.
/ look to the election Of a sue
cessor to Pres. John Tay lor with
some interest. The two most prom
inent men spoken of were Joseph
f. Smith and Geo. @. Cannon
Smith is a representative Mormon
an intense, fiery fanatic who would
doubtless advocate resistance tC
federal authority and interference
This people would bllndly follow
him to their graves if necessary
This election would doubtless pre-
cIpitate an earlier settlement of the
Mormon question than would 9th
er~ise come as the government
would very soon wipe the curse
from the face of the earth.
Cannon is more conservative
partly from nature and parity from
knowledge. Having been a mem
Der of congress be knows something
of the antagonist Mormonism woulC
find in the United States govern
ment and his would be a concilia
tory cause which would prolon
the life and the evils of the curse
only thus delaying the final condic
and by the delay increasing it,
terror.
1t is matter Of regret that Mr
| Cleveland saw fit to pass IN silenct
the Mormon question in his mes
sage. 1t is not a question to b
passed in silence by any man put il
a place of trust by the people.

Stockings at the Seasho1e.
From a Newpert letter.

A stockinged limb is coquetish.
A bare one, except on occasions, is
ugly if not questionable. Modern
footgeaf has not approved the sym
metry of the female toes, and, how
ever skillful the chiFopo(3;st may be,
be Is sure TO leave some signs Of his
art. 1t an A'henian sculptor were

seem as it all female bathers would
strongly prefer to cover their dis
torted extremities. Those OF thei,

in case of dire necessity, would
probably be the very last garment
discarded by them, anA some wo.

Martin College,

That the present faculty of this
institution is an excellent one is
patent to all who know them; that
the trustees are high toned, catho--
lie, christian gentlemen can't be
truthfully denied; that they did in
employing the present faculty under
existing circumstances the best they
could is probable, and perhaps was
satisfactory t. every non sectarian
chtistian in the county. 1t was un
fortunate, maybe, that the Metho-
dists were not better represented
in the number employed rs teach
ers, etc.
Now as it is too late TO have the
case tried by newspapers | want to
tell you that some things you have
written are not pleasant to the ma

that, since the Tennessee confer

tion to know whether it is her duty
to extend her fostering care over
this college, the church ought &c
be honest" An honest church

is not whether M2rtIn College is

whether the conference has any Ie-
gal right to control it or not. NoH

A Candid Deacon.

Deacon M. was an honest old codger,
a kind, obliging neighbor, and a good
church-going christian, believing in the
Presbyterian creed to the fullest eXtent;
but, alackaday! this pillar of the church
was, at times, little ''shaky;" in fact,
the deacon would, occasionally get eX-
ceedingly mellow" and almost every
Sunday at dinner he would indulge in
his favorite clder-brandy, to such an ex-
tent that it was with some little diff
Guilty he reached his pew, which was in
the broad aisle near the pulpit, and be-
tween the minister's and the Village
squire's. One Sunday morning the par
son told his flock that he should preach
sermon to them in the afternoon,
touching many glaring sins that he
greived to see so conspicuous among
them; and that he hoped that they would
listen attentively, and not finch if he
should happen to be severe. The after
noon came, and the house was full;
everybody turned out to hear their
neighbors ''dressed down" by the min
lister, who, after we'll opening his SER
mon, commenced upon the transgress-
ors in loud voice, with the ques-
ton
"Where is the drunkard?"
A solemn pause succeeded this in
quiry; when up rose Deacon NJ, with
his face radiant from copious draughts
of his favorite drink at his noon-tide
meal, and steadying himself as we'll as
he could by the pew-rail, looked up to
the parson and replied, in piping and
tremulous voice:
"Here I am.D
OF course, q CONSERVATION amongst
the congregation was the result of the
honest deacon's response; however, the
parson went on with his remarks as he
had written them, commentingsever
upon the drunkard, and winding up by
warning him to forsake at once such
evil habits, if he would seek salvation
and flee the coming wrath. The dea-
con then made low bow and seated
himself again.
Sand now" out spoke the preacher
man in his loudest tones, "where is the
hyprocrite?"
A pause-but no one responded, Eyes
were turned upon this and that man;
but the most glances seemed directed
to the squirrels pew, and indeed the par
son seemed to squint hard in that di-
rection. The deacon saw where the
shaft was leveled, orwhere it should be
aimed, and rising once more, leaned
over his pew-rail to the squire, whom
he tapped on the shoulder, and thus ad-
dressed:
"Come, squire, why don't youget up?
1 did, when he called on me-"

A Prediction That in Less than Ten

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Col. Nicho-
las Bell, the Superintendent of Foreign
Mails in the Post Office Department has
great hopes for the Post Office Depart
ment in the near future. He recognizes
the fact that it is great institution at
present, and that the feature of carry
ing letters all over the country for two
cents and all over the world for nickel
is great thing, but he believes the de-
partment will do greater things.
II believe" he said to your cores
pondent, as he waved a fan energetical-
Iy, II believe that the Post Office De-
partment will be carrying letters for a
penny in less than ten years, and will
be sending letters to all parts Of the
world for two cents"
"Wont that be running at tremend-
Gus loss?" .,.
mo, 1 don't think so. The change
was made to two cents, you know, only
short time ago, and yet the Depart
ment is almost on a paying basis again.
By this time next year it will be pay
Ing ltS lul way. GIlluk LI1aG as soon
as that point is fairly reached there will
be a successful effort to reduce letter
postage to one cent and to cut down
the rate on fourth-class matter, which
includes the carrying of merchandise.
The rate per pound now, you know,
on articles of merchandise is sixteen
cents. This is too much. 1t is the only
excessive figure of our mail service. A
great deal of this class of business could
be handled with very little expense.
A large proportion of the postmasters
of the country could handle the addi-
tion business it would bring withoutany
increase of service. That il would bring
an immense increase of business is easy
to see. The rate is too high now, from
100 to 400 per cent higher than the rates
of European countries. Yes, I expect
to see an improvement in those three
things within the next few years; the
rates reduced to two cents on foreign
letters for any parts of the world, rates
on letters reduced to one cent each, and
the price for carrying merchandise re-
duced at least one half.n
